The petition for exclusion of lands shall be acknowledged in the manner and form as is required in the case of conveyance of land, and the acknowledgment shall have the same force and effect as evidence as the acknowledgment of such a conveyance.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
